Hello, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
For a little over a year and a half I have bad a nagging pain in my groin, similar to having been struck in the testicles. Over time the pain has icreased to at worst making it very difficult and in some cases impossible to walk.
Last year I approached my doctor with this pain, and the past year has been a roller coaster with exams and tests. I have had an ultrasound, MRI, CAT scan and bone scan. I have been examined by three surgeons from Sholdice institute and ruled out a hernia. I have also been examined by two urologists and a couple of doctors as well as one other surgeon who believe they have ruled out osteitis pubis.
As for the tests, there have been no abnormalities in all of the tests, though the ultrasound showed a slight vericose blockage in my left gonad, though I have had children, and the CAT scan verified that I still have spondilolisthesis in my L-5.
So I am posting here in hopes that somebody may recognize my symptoms and have an idea what I may have going on. My doctor is currently doing research along the same lines in medical databases looking for similar cases.
Here are my symptoms:
Pain centering in my frontal pubis, under/behind my testicles, that radiates a shooting pain into my groin and abdomen. My inner thighs will burn, with shooting pains, after walking only a few hundred yards and the resultant limp may be responsible for the shooting pains around my side into my lower back, where I have the spondilolisthesis. All of this pain is almost exclusively on my right side.
I do not have pain during intercourse, urinating or during erection. There is a slight grinding in my hip when on my knees, at certain angles. If this rings any bells with people, please let me know. I am a timberframe carpenter and have been lifting very heavy beams for the past 2-3 years.
Thanks in advance,
